Acclaimed author Kevin Hearne makes his hardcover debut with the new novel in his epic urban fantasy series starring the unforgettable Atticus OāSullivan.
For nearly two thousand years, only one Druid has walked the EarthāAtticus OāSullivan, the Iron Druid, whose sharp wit and sharp sword have kept him alive as heās been pursued by a pantheon of hostile deities. Now heās got company.
Atticusās apprentice Granuaile is at last a full Druid herself. Whatās more, Atticus has defrosted an archdruid long ago frozen in time, a father figure (of sorts) who now goes by the modern equivalent of his old Irish name: Owen Kennedy.
And Owen has some catching up to do.
Atticus takes pleasure in the role reversal, as the student is now the teacher. Between busting Atticusās chops and trying to fathom a cell phone, Owen must also learn English. For Atticus, the juryās still out on whether the wily old coot will be an asset in the epic battle with Norse god Lokiāor merely a pain in the arse.
But Atticus isnāt the only one with daddy issues. Granuaile faces a great challenge: to exorcise a sorcererās spirit that is possessing her father in India. Even with the help of the witch Laksha, Granuaile may be facing a crushing defeat.
As the trio of Druids deals with pestilence-spreading demons, bacon-loving yeti, fierce flying foxes, and frenzied Fae, theyāre hoping that this time, threeās a charm.
